Philosophies of Crime Fiction by Josef Hoffmann
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2.2 MB
Overview: A considered analysis of the philosophical ideas to be found in crime literature, both hidden and explicit. Josef Hoffmann ranges expertly across influences and inspirations in crime writing with a stellar cast including Conan Doyle, G K Chesterton, Dashiell Hammett, Albert Camus, Borges, Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler. Hoffmann examines why crime literature may provide stronger consolation for readers than philosophy. In so doing, he demonstrates the truth of Wittgenstein’s claim that more wisdom is contained in the best crime fiction than in philosophy.
